Answer: B. It is directed to the left.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is an attractive force, this is stated by Newton's law of Gravitation:

<em>"The force exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2 and separated by a distance  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance"</em>

This means both m1 and m2 are mutually attracted.

Hence, if the force exerted on m1 by m2 is directed to the right, the force exerted on m2 by m1 must be logically <u>directed to the left.</u>

Shown here are astronomical objects located at different distances from Earth. Rank the objects based on their distances from Ea
nevsk [136]

Answer: star on far side of Andromeda Galaxy- star on near side of Andromeda Galaxy- star on far side of Milky Way Galaxy- star near center of Milky Way Galaxy- Orion Nebula- Alpha Centauri- Pluto-The Sun

Explanation:

Andromeda is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky way galaxy. The star on the far side of the Andromeda galaxy would be farthest from Earth. Then, the star at the near side of the Andromeda galaxy.

The Earth along with the Sun and other planets are located in the Orion arm of the Milky way. It is about 8 kpc from the center of the Milky way. Thus, the next farthest astronomical object would be the star on the far side of the milky way and then a star near the center of the Milky way galaxy.

Orion Nebula is 1344 ly away from Earth. Alpha centauri is 4.36 ly away from earth. Pluto is about 28 AU away from Earth and Sun is 1 AU distance away.

Do you have to use significant figures in converting temperatures
schepotkina [342]
Not only in converting temperatures I think, we always use significant figures every time we want to make some experimental report using the exact data from our experiment. If that isn't experimental report ( some exercise/questions from your textbook) it's not necessary
